The newest CTA Chicago maps are ready!
These feature the pink line and any other changes over last year's maps. CTA Chicago System Map and CTA Downtown/Loop Map downtown Chicago, the El, and the Loop. Also, thanks a ton to Gapers Block for sharing my CTA maps with their audience!
I've created a set of placemarks for Channel 4 (BBC) in the UK. It's a list of about 25 places where parking fines are exorbitant, and revenue is in the millions of pounds. More information and the placemarks can be downloaded at Britain's most ticketed streets at Channel 4.
